Surf Perch in Muk?

[EmeraldBullet]

Is there surf perch in Mukilteo? Can you pretty much just use a trout setup with a little shrimp meat on the hook?

There are indeed, seen plenty while diving.

There are species of perch- pile perch and striped perch are the main ones I am familiar with- all around Puget Sound. They are similar to surf perch. When I was a kid we used to catch the heck out of them around Tacoma. Look for docks, pilings, and other structure. We mainly used mussels and pile worms, but I'm sure shrimp would work if you can keep it on the hook. They're good fighters and lots of fun on trout-sized gear.

Pile perch are caught off the fishing dock.  They hit on pretty much any bait.

Same here, pile worms were our go to bait. The little store/greasy spoon at Dash Point sold pile worms in baby food jars.
